Oh the Wonderful World of Homework....

I would like to be doing what's in this awesome picture I found on earthshots.org:

But instead, this is my lot for the night:

I hope my summer is full of things much more like running around in the beautiful sunlight, than staying up late writing research papers.

Younger than Springtime

This weekend was be.a.utiful.
Nothing like cooking out and playing baseball with the fam to cure the sickness brought on by the world's longest winter. It was SO nice Saturday, and having so many people here hangin out was the best. The only downer of the weekend, [besides some people missing who I wish could have been there, *cough, cough* JJ] was the fact that all my little cousins like Jordan more than me. But I'm over it, because its really cute to watch them be in love with him. 
Now, after the full bellies of a weekend of wonderful eating, [cookout, Mario's pizza, and Hibachi's] the kids are down for the count and Aunt Annie, Mom, and Maria are passed out on the couches in the living room. Great people, great laughs, great food, and great sleep. Can't beat that.
